BERLIN (Reuters) -The Alternative for Germany, a far-right party polling second nationally, will expel three members arrested for suspected involvement in an extremist group accused by prosecutors of planning an armed revolt, the party said on Wednesday.
The AfD said it would initiate court proceedings to kick out "members affected by the measures taken by the attorney general", after eight people were arrested and 20 properties searched during a police operation on Tuesday.
